Legio VII Gemina

Legio VII Gemina was a legion of the Roman Army which was founded in Hispania in 68 AD by Galba to take part in his rebellion against Nero. The legion was dedicated to the twins (gemini) Romulus and Remus, who founded Rome, and its headquarters of Legio later became known as Leon, a major city in Spain. The legion later served in Pannonia and in the civil wars, and Vespasian settled the legion in Hispania Tarraconensis. It usually had around 7,712 soldiers (auxiliaries and soldiers), plus local levies and other reinforcements, and it remained in Spain until the end of the 4th century.
